I found myself hiking the Glen Burney Trail today, a place I knew I'd visit for the 24 day project. Today was Day 10. Instead of choosing to use my one film exposure on the magnificent natural wonder that is Glen Burney Falls, which rises about 20 feet out of a cool mountain creek, I turned my lens to a smaller and quieter off shoot of the falls. The rainy and overcast sky cleared as I approached the main waterfall, casting a harsh bright light on it. This left me searching for a more evenly lit subject in the shadows of the Rhododendron.
The last few days have gone relatively smoothly as far as the 24 day project goes. No more accidental fires so far! Of course, I wont know for sure what I have until the film comes back from the lab. I'll save the stories behind the photos since my last update for the reveal.
On my way back from the falls, I found these little mushrooms hiding in the exposed roots of an overhanging oak in neat little clusters. I couldn't resist pulling out the digital camera and making this exposure. As for tomorrow's film shot, I actually haven't a clue what I'll be looking for yet. We'll just have to see what nature throws at me.
